Well, it had been my intention to raise a glass to Denise and Mark McDunn, at the RHW dinner at DIF.    Denise was quick to welcome me to the site, and I have been inspired by her ongoing activity and pro-Ginger networking. Plus, I am pleased to count her husband, Mark, among my friends. 

Unfortunately I was unable to make it to the dinner. Technology failed me miserably, and once on the way, I lost GPS navigation. Finally at 6pm I gave up hope. So, in liew of that toast, here are some words I wish I could have said.

"Here's to Denise McDunn, the Donegal Vixen, as proud a proponent of Ginger-appreciation as any of us could hope to be.  Let us toast to her health, her husband Mark, and their bonnie children, may they find a way to join this revelry some day."
